I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 113: Encountering a Homeless Child in the Forest

Jiang smiled and patted Gu Dahai, saying, "There has never been a day when our family has not had your new dishes. The ingenuity of my third brother and his wife has brought our family's food to new heights. We have new dishes for every meal, and you are still not satisfied? I think you just want to have fun."

"Yes, yes, my wife is right. I just want to play." Gu Dahai responded attentively. He acted as if his wife was the most important and everything she said was right.

This look naturally caused boos from his younger brothers and boos from the younger generations.

For a moment, they were all dispersed, feeling sad to see Dagu Village burned down.

Everyone walked forward while chatting and laughing and looking for wild vegetables and fruits.

Fearing that the outside was unsafe, he asked Gu Fu to call Shasha and Daidai.

He carried everyone to the forest where he met the little monkey.

At noon, the group came to the stream where they had walked when fleeing the famine.

The boys ran over happily, and Gu Ru shouted excitedly: "Look, this is where we met Wukong and his friends. They even stole Yier's hat."

"That was me... I let it do that on purpose, just to tease it." Gu Yi replied stubbornly.

Hearing him say this, the kids burst into laughter again. The adults also watched with a smile.

When they fled the famine, the family went deep into the mountains to find a way out, worried about the future.

Now the family has settled down in the valley and has become accustomed to valley life.

Now when I walk this road again, my mood is naturally different, and I feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Gu Dahai saw the stream and asked Gu Fu, "Fuer, did you bring the fishing net for uncle?"

"I have it, uncle. Here you are." Then he conjured up an electric fishing net out of thin air and gave it to Gu Dahai.

Whenever the family goes out now, they are in the habit of putting away the things they are going to take with Fuer first.

"Thank you, Fu'er. Your uncle will catch some fish for you at noon today."

"Great! Great!" Gu Fu clapped his hands happily.

"Tomato fish! Tomato fish!" Little Gu Kang was also in Gu Dahe's arms, leaning forward and shouting.

"Okay. Give our little Gu Kang some tomato fish." Gu Dahai said to his nephew.

The family members were collecting firewood, and some were picking wild vegetables.

Gu Fu released his mental power and checked to see if there was anyone around, then he took out the stove from the space.

The three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family looked at the familiar mobile firewood stove, glanced at each other, smiled, and began to get busy.

After this period of training, Wen's craftsmanship is naturally better than before.

Soon, the stream was filled with enticing fragrance.

All the boys gathered around the stove, sniffing hard.

"It smells so good." The boys exclaimed from time to time.

"Aunt San, how long will it take before we can eat?" Gu Yi asked.

"It's almost done, almost done. Go clear the table, wash your hands and get ready to eat." Wen said to the boys while busy with the work in her hands.

"Wow! Great, let's go now."

The boys cheered and hurried to wash their hands and set the table. The three sisters-in-law of Wen were also busy cleaning the stove.

The family was preparing to eat, and Gu Fu calmly squeezed the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'll put away the other things first."

After he said this, with the help of his mental power, he had already collected the pots, stoves, fishing nets, buckets and other items.

"Grandpa, someone is coming. We can't have this meal in peace." Gu Fu said helplessly.

Everyone in the Gu family suddenly panicked.

"Why don't we put them all away. Fu'er, we won't eat them." Grandpa Gu said nervously.

"It's okay, Grandpa. It's just a kid. He's still far away from us. But we need to put away the table and change the plates."

Upon hearing this, the Gu family members hurriedly stood up and let Gu Fu do the work.

Gu Fu and other family members stood up and released their mental strength.

Control the tables, chairs and benches and put them into the space.

I spread another piece of oilcloth on the ground, which I bought last time in Weng County.

Then replace the plates with a set of wooden bowls and plates made by Gu Dahe.

There was also a large backpack next to the oilcloth.

The firewood poured out of the wood stove was gathered into a pile, tied into a tripod with wooden sticks, and a small casserole was taken out and hung on it.

It looked like a family cooking a meal in the wild with a hanging pot. Gu Fu saw that there were basically no flaws.

Then he whispered, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, Second Uncle and Aunt, Brother Ji, Brother Xiang, Brother Ru, Brother Yi, Brother An, Brother Le, Brother Kang, let's eat. Act naturally, he will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Gu family quickly quickened their eating pace without making a sound.

He tried hard to act more natural, as if he had no idea who was coming.

The person who had been discovered earlier was now carefully approaching the stream little by little, taking advantage of the cover of a large tree.

With the current strength of everyone, they have nothing to fear if they encounter a bad guy.

But when they heard that the person coming was a child, everyone was not afraid that he might be in danger, but they were afraid that their abnormality would be discovered by others.

If we are discovered, we can't just kill them. That would make us no different from the criminals.

I saw the person coming, carefully hiding behind a big tree where I could see the stream clearly.

Looking at the family in front of me, I saw that they were old and young, all dressed neatly and cleanly, and they looked clean as if they had never experienced war.

The family was having a great time, eating delicious food that was the most delicious he had ever tasted before.

The visitor analyzed in his mind that generally speaking, those who are not affected by the war are either in high positions of power or are the source of the war itself.

But looking at the clothes of the family, they seem like ordinary people. And there are old and young in the family, so they should be good people.

The visitor was unsure who these people were and hesitated before coming out.

At the Gu family's side, Mr. Gu asked quietly, "Fu, is that person gone?"

Gu Fu also whispered to Grandpa: "Not yet, he is still watching us from behind the tree."

The others also tried to lean over and listen, wondering why they weren't leaving yet.

But they still had to pretend, so when everyone shrank back, they all burst into laughter, and then they started to pick up food for each other awkwardly.

The visitor didn't know much about the Gu family, but he saw that they talked about something and then laughed heartily. They even picked up food for each other in a friendly manner.

Watching this scene made his eyes sore and he thought of his dead parents and family.

Thinking of his dying brother in the cave, he no longer cared about whether this group of people were good or bad.

He just wanted to go out and beg them to save his brother, even if it was a slim hope. At least he tried.

Gu Fu noticed his movements immediately and reminded his family quietly, "He's about to come out. Everyone, be prepared to be surprised."

The man made up his mind and walked out from behind the tree without hesitation. He walked quickly to the stream and knelt down.

When the person came out, the Gu family opened their mouths in surprise.

Gu Fu, who had his back to the visitor, saw his family's surprised expressions and gave them a thumbs up in his heart.

I thought to myself, "Oh, my family members are almost good at acting. Look how natural and lifelike their performance is. Wow! So proud."
